Writer In The Dark Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Break the news, you're walking out
[C]To be a good man for someone else
[D]Sorry, I was never good like you[C]
[D]Stood on my chest and kept me down
Hat[C]ed hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
[D]Did my best to exist just for[C] you

[Pre-chorus 1]
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed
a writer in the [C]dark
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed
a writer in the [C]dark
Now she's gonna [D]play and sing
and lock you in her [C]heart
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed
a [C]writer in the [G]dark

[Chorus 1]
[G]I am my mother's child,
I'll [Am]love you 'til my [Em]breathing stops
I'll [Am]love you 'til you [Em]call the cops on [D]me
[G]But in our darkest hours,
I [Am]stumbled on a [Em]secret power
I'll [Am]find a way to [Em]be without you, b[D]abe

[Verse 2]
[D]I still feel you, now and then
[C]Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
[D]When you see me,
will you say I've [C]changed?
[D]I ride the subway, read the signs
I [C]let the seasons change my mind
I [G]love it here since I've stopped needing [D]you

[Pre-chorus 2]
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed
a writer in the [C]dark
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed
a writer in the [C]dark
Now she's gonna [D]play and sing
and lock you in her [C]heart
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed
a [C]writer in the [G]dark

[Chorus 2]
[G]I am my mother's child,
I'll [Am]love you 'til my [Em]breathing stops
I'll [Am]love you 'til you [Em]call the cops on [D]me
[G]But in our darkest hours,
I [Am]stumbled on a [Em]secret power
I'll [Am]find a way to [Em]be without you, b[D]abe

[Chorus 3]
[G]I am my mother's child,
I'll [Am]love you 'til my [Em]breathing stops
I'll [Am]love you 'til you [Em]call the cops on [D]me
[G]But in our darkest hours,
I [Am]stumbled on a [Em]secret power
I'll [Am]find a way to [Em]be without you, b[D]abe
